Cobra Wings

Cobra wings break my fall and lay me down gentlyDream bellows collapse and lie emptyI reached out to touch the prize — well where is she?He looked back with spinning eyes, made me dizzy

Caroline! Carolina!

I threw my balance to the wind — I thought I was flyingSo let me feed the earth this empty skin cuz I'm dyingCast me off this naked bough — the fruit is rottenAnd lay me gently in the leaves where all is forgotten
